I'm considering sticking with the x300u but possibly moving out to 1 or 3 o'clock and using an SR07 at 12 o'clock. The Fury and scout extend too far.

I started a thread on Lightfighter about using an x300 on a rifle. I hear a number of people say it's not a good idea, but very few ever give personal experiences as to why.

So, I'm giving it a chance. If it doesn't work for me, I might go with a scout ultra mounted a little further back with one of those Haley mounts that attaches between the rails.

With this setup, it's the first time I've ever thought I might prefer the micro to the standard KAC front sight. I rest my thumb on it and the edges are no joke. I might take a file to them.

Jon,

Goteron kindly sent me a preproduction sample to try out and I wouldn't run an X300 without one on a rifle now. They are that good and the price is right as well. I ran an X300 for about 3 months and like it but am leaning back to the Scout.....for now. One thing I really like about the X300 mounted at the 12 is that when shooting support side I don't have to move my thumb back in a weird position to activate the switch like I do on a clicky cap on my Scouts. This...to me..also helps maintain a better grip on the rifle on the support side while using the light.

The Scout, I love that big simple button. I will say the Unity Tactical EXO actually helps me find the switch b/c it sort of acts as a funnel and a reference point. I have noticed that with both lights sticking over the same amount of barrel the X300 makes the gun less front heavy than an M600c. + for the X300 over the 2 cell Scout lights. I love the modularity of the Scouts. Upgradable heads, Vampire heads, etc. + for the Scout. And of course price. In 500 lumens, obviously the X300U is much cheaper. * for the X Series. If you dont want to use a switch and run a short barrel the X300 doesnt extend out as far so you'll get less carbon build up on the lens. Like I said I like both. If the X300 had more modularity, like the Scout series (changeable heads) I would love that. Sort of a dedicated X300 long gun light.
